P&O Cruises is kicking off an exciting multi-year partnership with Southampton Football Club to become the club’s official sleeve partner. Teaming up to support our city, the players and the fans, the P&O Cruises logo will sit pride of place across the men’s, women’s and academy teams’ sleeve.
Carnival UK and P&O Cruise president Paul Ludlow said:
“This is our first-ever sports partnership, so who better to get behind than our home football club? Together, we’ve many years of combined British heritage, and we’re enormously proud of our city and rich history. It’s a natural partnership for both of us.
As the first brand to sponsor the men’s, women’s and academy teams’ shirts, we’re delighted to be championing diversity, inclusion and grassroots talent in our local community. What’s more, we’re honoured to be lead partner of Saint’s Foundation, a local charity which aims to level the playing field in Southampton, working to improve health, education, gender equality and employability. Look out for more on that soon.”
